Parent, Child and Family Learning
Many schools, community groups and organisations are seeing the value of running activities that are both fun and educational for all members of the family whether it is parents learning new skills, families learning together or activities within the classroom or for holiday and summer schools. These courses are a great way encouraging self esteem and confidence building skills for their young people and adults of all ages too.
KRL is available to undertake a variety of learning activities across the United Kingdom including taster sessions, children’s activities, family learning workshops and Open College Network (OCN) accredited training courses for both parents, young people over 14 and those wishing to learn skills to teach others.

What others say about the courses
(Copies of these evaluations are available)
Very informative, practical course. I will be putting the advice into action.
I really enjoyed the whole day. Gave me lots of ideas to follow up.
Very useful & good for those starting out as well as those who are already established.
The course was good because it kept us interested, we shared views and Karen made things simple to understand.
